The "44 Years Of Tradition" video has inspired me to make this thread. This is a good opportunity to post some of our most heroic moments in franchise history. I will start with the following: <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fsaqR6EO-lI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Bostjan Nachbar did next to nothing in his career with the Rockets, but what happened above will live forever in infamy. Karl Malone could easily be the most hated opponent we have ever faced. To see Nachbar destroy him on both ends of the court was such a beautiful thing. I was at that game, and remember the glee on everyone's faces when this happened. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/aWGuUwjS4Pc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Kevin Johnson thought it was over when they were up 3-1, but the never-say-die Rockets proved him wrong. What happened above is probably my fondest memory. I remember as a kid getting out on the court with my buds, and trying to sink the corner three. Elie is probably my favorite Rockets of all time. What is your fondest memory?
So many incredible moments during the championship/Barkley years and a few after during the TMAC/Yao era. I won't state the obvious ones since we all know them well but two of my favorites were Game 5 vs PHX in 95 when Clyde was sick with the flu and could hardly walk, the team rallied beautifully and pulled it out in overtime. Another unsung moment was game 4 vs the Sonics in 96, it was the loss that ended our run but down 18 to start the 4th, the Rockets made an INCREDIBLE comeback to force OT and actually had a 4 point lead late but just ran out of gas. Might have been my proudest moment as a Rocket fan including the titles.
